Engine oil for 1969 TR6


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the forum Adam. 

If you use the search box for 'engine oil'  you will find several pages of discussion. This is a regular topic and there are as many different answers as there are oils available. See the example below (click on the title to open it). 

Price is probably not the best criterion. The main thing is to use oil which has sufficient ZDDP ( zinc ) which is essential for the flat tappets in TRs. Most modern oils do not contain enough and it is recommended to use one specifically intended for older styles of engine.

Thank you all …very helpful. Have found a local to me supplier called Classic Oils at Bicester Heritage. Superb service and oils a plenty!

Fuzz Townshend,  best value in 25L drums, Millers now reduced to 20L drums for the same price.

Great to see that others have cottoned onto Classic oils Heritage mineral 20/50 - super spec for our cars at a sensible price. The only downside of buying 25lrs is the space it takes up inthe garage :)
